I've thought about this a lot too and it seems that with electronic music, since being mostly instrumental it doesn't really lend itself as significantly to particular subcultures, the popularity of subgenres over time seems to be dependent moreso on the actual sounds and production techniques used. Reese bass is extremely popular right now, so the dominant subgenres in electronic music are the genres that utilize it the most; Glitch Hop, Neurofunk, Electro-House, Dubstep etc. High hat trills and big synth stabs are also really popular right now so Trap is huge.
